So, over the years I have returned many, many mice under warranty because of the left button going bad. Generally this meant it would start to double-click when it wasn't supposed to, but sometimes it wouldn't actuate at all.
My current mouse just started doing this and Logitech recommended cleaning the mouse and making sure there is no debris under the plastic piece you actually press on.
I was able to pry it up with a thin blade and blew air in there and it started working fine again, but about a month later it started double-clicking again.
Tonight, I took the mouse apart entirely and cleaned it thoroughly and the problem remained.
I glanced over and noticed I had a can of DeoxIt D5 electronics cleaner/lubricant on my desk that I had used on some switches in a new mechanical keyboard that were double and triple-clicking (which worked really well btw). So, I opened the mouse back up, sprayed the switches (did both sides for good measure) and closed it up.
For about the first five minutes it seemed like it didn't work, but then the mouse started working perfectly.
So there you have it. A quick tip that might restore your wonky mouse before having to replace a switch or the entire mouse. I wish I would have known about this like 10 RMA's ago. lol
